[PJ-Comix]

The NEXT Day When Everything Finally Changed came on September 24 and was instantly forgotten amidst the plethora of Hurricane Rita news coverage. I watched NBC national news on Saturday evening and there wasn't even ONE mention of Pied Piper Pitt's much heralded event on the Washington Mall. It didn't even make the front page of the local Miami Herald. In fact it didn't even get on the second page of that paper. It ended up with a relatively minor blurb on page 3 of that periodical. Most amazingly, there was even little comment from the DUmmies themselves about that much hyped letdown. Yeah, some claim a ridiculous 100,000 figure for those in attendance but my observation of the LARGE GAPS in the crowd in both the C-SPAN coverage and in the photos shows lots of grass, not necessarily of the type you inhale. Knock a zero off that figure and you get much closer to the TRUE size of the crowd. One of the funniest things about observing the speakers who ranted in their unique Leftist sing-song manner was watching the A.N.S.W.E.R. sign on the podium in front of the microphone. At times it was covered up, evidence that even some of the leftists were embarrassed by that communist organization. At other times, the A.N.S.W.E.R. sign returned. Perhaps some enterprising reporter out there can give us the behind the scenes political struggle going on there. One evidence of this struggle is this DUmmie THREAD titled, "ANSWER deliberately lied about the start of the march...." It is based on this Daily Kos REPORT about how A.N.S.W.E.R. supposedly "hijacked" their demonstration. Sorry, DUmmies but when A.N.S.W.E.R. sponsors your demonstration, are you so naive that they won't promote their nutcase agenda? As usual, the DUmb DUmmie rantings are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, who is lucid enough to realize that if the KKK sponsors a rally one should NOT be surprised if they use the occasion to promote their agenda, is in the [brackets]:

ANSWER deliberately lied about the start of the march... to hold onto their captive audience.

[GASP!!! You...you mean that the Communist A.N.S.W.E.R. folks actually LIED to you? Next you'll be telling us that professional wrestling is fake.]

"I'm sorry, but these people are scum. For example, after about the third anti-Israel speaker left the stage, and the audience began to walk off, probably in disgust, one of the emcees came out and said, "We have a very important announcement about the march itself. We have a very important announcement about the march itself..."

[Thanx for that Daily Kos observation but to quote an old saying: "When you lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas.]

Then they sent Gloria LaRiva from the National Committee to Free the Cuban 5 claiming that it's "not possible to move right now so yo are actually better off in staying here a little while longer cause it's totally jammed."

This, according to a friend who was there, was an abject lie. They were so desperate to keep an audience for their parade of radical speakers that they lied to the audience to keep them from joining the march.

Make no mistake, ANSWER is not our friend. And we must never again allow our real movement to be associated with them. In fact, we should do our best to make sure that no one ever shows up to one of their events again."

I am willing to march if ANSWER is attending, as they were last summer in NYC, but I will NOT participate if they are controlling the agenda. Their agenda is not mine.

[There is nothing wrong with our agenda. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. A.N.S.W.E.R. is controlling the transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image; make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your agenda. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to the DUmmie Limits.]

Join them and shift their focus from the inside

[Join them and become as looney as they are.]

The only reason I would ever join them... is to find out where the hell they're getting their money from. Personally, I'm not a PI and have no desire for a "We're All Palestinians Now" T-shirt.

[How about an "I Attended This Overhyped Demonstration And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt?"]

When they started chanting "Intifada," I was totally embarrassed...and beyond annoyed.

[And I was totally NOT surprised.]

It's worth pausing for a second to note the way ANSWER works. ANSWER reflects its origins in the sectarian, Marxist-Leninist left (specifically the Workers World Party). ANSWER is deeply authoritarian in its structure. Decisions are made in a top-down fashion, reflecting their vanguardist political beliefs. It is a "coalition" that includes virtually no truly independent groups as members. ANSWER tends to announce unity statements first, and then demand that others sign off on them. Even when ANSWER makes compromises in negotiations with cosponsoring groups, they frequently renege on these promises at the last minute And ANSWER uses its front groups to push its line, both on issus of substance, and on tactical infighting with other peace groups.

[Thanx for providing us with an accurate description of the Democrat Party.]

Here's what I saw... I was with Billionaires For Bush in front of the US Treasury bldg.Everything was fine until a group of Anti-Zionists hopped onto the balcony behind us and started screaming "Death to Israel" through a bullhorn.

[Damn those nutcases for ruining our nutcase street theater!]

Pitt posted to me on a DU thread that this rift resulted in two separate stages and two separate sets of speakers on Saturday. This is also why there were no march coordinators leading the crowd or keeping the march moving. it kept stalling in various places and nobody knew what to do.

[Thanx for providing the PEFECT epitaph for Pied Piper Pitt's NEXT Day When Everything Finally Changed: "It kept stalling in various places and nobody knew what to do."]

I strongly suspect there are elements in ANSWER that want to hijack the peace movement, dilute it, or derail it. I wouldn't be surprised if these elements came from some CIA-type people who have infiltrated ANSWER for the express purpose of derailing the anti-war movement.

[A Perfect Rovian Storm...And it WORKED!!!]

If you lay down with dogs... ...you wake up with fleas.

[I absolutely SWEAR that I didn't yet see this DUmmie post when I wrote the intro to this DUFU edition!]

In Texas, the Democratic party suffered from the fact that Republicans managed to demonize labor to the degree that other Democratic voters who were attracted to the party for reasons other than labor-related issues stopped supporting pro-labor causes, they demonized trial attorneys and the civil justice system so that Democrats who were drawn to the party with other concerns as their primary issues stopped supporting pro-consumer causes, they demonized the communities that sought immigration fairness, they demonized feminists, they demonized environmentalists, they demonized gays, they demonized advocates of urban initiatives, they demonized us all. In the end, the Republicans succeeded in dissuading too many Democrats from supporting their natural allies.

[A wasted effort. The Democrats do a great job of demonizing themselves without any outside help.]

I hate to see progressive groups turn on one another.

[It sort of gives me a warm glow to see that happen.]

[Celtjew Libertarian]

Here's a big problem with the anti-War movement: A significant part of it is anti-Semitic.... I'm not saying they merely disapprove of Israeli policy -- I mean have bought into the Czarist, fascist, and now Arabist belief in a Jewish conspiracy.

But with out those people, the anti-War movement would be crippled. The anti-Semites were among the very first to oppose the war. They moved from carrying signs that showed the swastika as being equal to the Star of David to being activists in the Howard Dean campaign. With Howard Dean now head of DNC, they are quite involved in the Democratic Party.

For the foreseeable future the anti-War movement has to accommodate the anti-Semites to survive. The Democratic Party has to accommodate the anti-War movement to get their people elected. Thus, the DNC is beholden to anti-Semites.

Hopefully, enough of my fellow Jews will figure this out before it's too late.

[PJ-Comix]

Didn't Pitt have some Martin Luther delusion a while back, complete with a fantasy of marching up to the white house and nailing his decree on the door?

I think Charles Henrickson had a funny comment about that incident which occurred on the FIRST Day When Everything Finally Changed.

[PJ-Comix]

And I never heard an accurate estimate of their crowd size. All CNN would say was that "supporters estimate that there are 100,000 people". Sure didn't look like 100,000 to me, and no one bothered to do aerial views of the crowd, as far as I could see.

I would LOVE to see an aerial photo of that "crowd." What I saw were large gaps between the people. When you have 100,000 people gathered in the same area, you don't see the ground and I saw plenty of grass in the C-SPAN video and published photos. And I don't mean the grass you smoke. My impression of that "crowd" was that there was LOTS of room to stretch out.

[PatriotGirl827]

It never ceases to amaze me at how many otherwise intelligent Jews always vote democrat.

There are many Jews down here (in liberal Palm Beach County) that hate George W. Bush with a passion. I just don't get it.

[freedumb2003]

Too bad the hurricanes did not hit THEM!!!

Proof God has a sense of humor. You don't get many opportunities to watch the Left implode in a sputtering display of exaggeration and discord.

It just doesn't get any funnier that this weekend. DU (and Kos) are reflections of the Loony Left -- the humorous gift that keeps on giving.

[MoochPooch]

"Personally I think the Dummies have created a very serious problem for themselves."


Fortunately or unfortunately, every lunatic fringe group exploited the situation and jumped on the DUmmie bandwagon. Not only the nutcases but the biggest case of opportunism must have been on display at this gathering.

[CAluvdubya]

It couldn't happen to a better group of protesters. Here in San Diego, I went to a counter code pinko protest and yep, sure enough, there was the Palestinian flag flying. They will doom what little of their party is left! p>hey PJ, I've missed a few DUFU's, did you get your new computer?

[Celtjew Libertarian]

It never ceases to amaze me at how many otherwise intelligent Jews always vote democrat.

You know the Fiddler on the Roof song, "Tradition!"? There's the explanation.

[cripplecreek]

Hannity had a moonbat on his radio show today who was claiming 200,000. I saw one arial photo of the crowd that I would estimate contained 10 to 15 thousand people.

I hate to tell them but NASCAR draws 100,000 or more PAYING people 36 times a year.

[Purrcival]

Did you notice that the speakers included the usual cast of cretins? Cynthia McKinney, Jesse Jack@$$, Ramsey Clark, Lynn Stewart, Peta Lindsay, Cindy Sheehan, George Galloway, etc. I'm surprised I didn't see John Conyers, but I could only take so much of the drivel and I would have to periodically change the channel. So maybe he was there and I just missed him.

[beckysueb]

The media, even Fox is quoting 100,000 people. Thats how quick their lies stick. And so far the media hasn't picked up on the ANSWER thing.

[Purrcival]

I heard that moonbat. 10-15,000 really sounds much more accurate.

[cripplecreek]

"the FIRST Day When Everything Finally Changed."

The days when everything changed pass unnoticed so often it's easy to lose track.

[beckysueb]

Personally I think the Dummies have created a very serious problem for themselves. The garden variety anti semite will accept the brush off with some complaints and grumbling but those who chant "intafada" may not accept the brush off so gracefully or peacefully.

Sorry for my ignorance but what does that word mean?

[PJ-Comix]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Pied Piper Pitt is putting on a big phony Happy Face over this disaster (as Daily Kos described it) over at his PDA.Org BLOG. Read Pitt's delusion (including claiming that 500,000 people attended) and descend into his Alternate Reality:

Sunday 25 September 2005--My ears are still ringing from the roars that blasted up and down the streets of Washington DC yesterday, roars of joy and rage and defiance and strength. My ears are still ringing from the roars of the majority, which showed up in strength and in numbers that made history. C-SPAN pegged the crowd at 500,000 people. Having been there, having marched in the midst of it, having stood upon the hill beneath the Washington Monument to gaze down on the majesty of that majority, I think that number is just about right.

For a while yesterday, the march just stood still and didn't go anywhere. Want to know why? The march stood still because it was so huge that it wrapped around to the back end of itself. The front collided with the rear, and it took a while to sort the thing out and get everyone moving. That's how big yesterday was. My mother would call this a "happy problem."

Hey Pitt! I think your mother would call this your "unreality problem."

[Purrcival]

Unbelievable. They really are more delusional than I thought!

[Welsh Rabbit]

I hate to tell them but NASCAR draws 100,000 or more PAYING people 36 times a year.

And if the speedways had a big enough crowd capacity, they could draw 200,000 every time.

[decal]

I said a week ago that it would be closer to 1000 show up than 100,000 and was told that I was fulla baloney, the Progs would easily muster 100k.

A lot of folks around here say they don't believe a word the MSM spews out and then turn right around and parrot the same garbage they hear from there.

People, you gotta quit misunderestimating the intelligence of the American public - it's on OUR side, really it is!

[gate2wire]

If you took all the money answer spends on signs and rent a mobs, they could eradicate world hunger. New leftist slogan should be "No money for answer signs, money for free breakfast for Ethiopians."
